What language are you looking for?

Maybe this will help https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Shortcodes should do the trick as most things are covered by them.

Eg. If you want to show a forum use the single forum shortcode, if you want to display a single topic with the replies use the single topic shortcode.

BuddyPress is basically doing the same as the shortcodes and I’m not entirely sure what you mean by ‘i tired with shortcodes but that only seemed to give the headings’ unless you are using the wrong shortcode where for example [bbp-forum-index] rather than [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id].

Forum Prefix – Used to enable forum prefixing with the Forums base slug in Archive Slugs

Eg. Using bbpress.org as an example, this forum ‘Troubleshooting’ uses the slug https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting/ if you disable the prefix it would use https://bbpress.org/forum/troubleshooting/ instead, it removes the forums part of the slug.

Make a copy of Twenty Thirteen’s page.php in the theme directory and rename it to bbpress.php.

Does that work?

I see the issue covered in ticket 2493 as clouding the issue here – it certainly did for me. You post a new topic or reply, don’t check the “Notify me…” check box at the bottom – because you are already subscribed – get unsubscribed because you didn’t check the box and get no email notifications from that point onward! I am using WordPress 3.8 with bbPress 2.5.2.

I would like a ”’Subscribe”’ link on the ”’Forums”’ page that gives me or any other registered forum user an email for both new topics and replies for any and all forum (including sub-forum) activity. Intuitive behavior for top level forum ”’Subscribe”’ is getting an email for ”’any”’ non-spam activity for that forum and all its sub-forums, if any. I deem anything else (ie, leaving out the sub-forums) as extremely counter-intuitive, even though some people may want that some of the time.

RSS is either unknown, too much trouble, or potentially going away for my forum users who want notifications. I would also greatly prefer these emails to be sourced ”’after”’ the “Bad Behavior” and “Akismet” plugins have deemed the posting to ”’not”’ be spam.

Right now I could hack something together for the top level, likely using the “bbpress email notifications” 0.3 plugin to generate email to a mailman distribution that my forum users could subscribe to. But it would be such an ugly hack and a nuisance to maintain. Setting it up so a spammer couldn’t do evil things with it would also be a pain.

What happens when you copy the Twenty Fourteen page.php template as bbPress.php in the theme folder and visit http://example.com/forums ?

I have filed this as a bbPress defect:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2504

[jdredd87]

Pretty much sums it up. No idea what possessed me to do so but it
is it is. Still learning WP and BBpress and their qwirks.

Now if I could figure out how to make 1 search return results from
WP and BBpress.

[artkahlich]

So let me restate what you found to work:

1. When creating a menu item for forums, do NOT use the automatically available permalink that ends in “/forums/”
2. Instead, create a page that has the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the body. There could also then be other content or links in the body.
3. Make sure the page you created does NOT have a permalink that ends in “/forums/”. In my case I had a page Title of “Forums”, but I changed the permalink to end with “/allforums/”.

I did this on my site and it now works on my Android smart phone.

This weirdness needs to be either fixed or on the bbPress FAQ.

Hi

How can I translate the ‘Search’ string in the Search Box at content-archive-forum.php:

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>

		<div class="bbp-search-form">

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

		</div>

I want to translate it to my website language but I can’t really find the file to modify…

Thanks for the support

Hi – I am setting up a forum similar to this one using bbpress:

http://aslstem.cs.washington.edu/

I want to be able to allow people to create an account and then post YouTube videos in ASL. I then want them to be able to embed the video into their forum page (similar to the above).

Here is the bbpress I’ve created:

http://hissign.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=1

I’m calling the forum ASL exchange and you’ll notice that I created a test topic called Baby Signs. When you click on that post you’ll notice the YTV video link but I was unable to embed the video in the post so the video plays there (instead of just the link).

Can someone explain to me how or what I need to do to embed the video into the post?

Thanks.

[TechHaus]

Bummer, not seeing that! Thanks for the response.

Going to try with another user account because there were some weird user role issues with my forum until recently when I installed User Role Editor to fix the issue.

EDIT: none of my keymasters can see that button. Going to try to disable a few other plugins but everything is the latest version.

EDIT 2: still no. Has this plugin broken for anyone else or does it work for wp 3.8+ and bbpress 2.5+?

[yogeshwarrv]

I installed bbpress forum.
In the 5th point it is noticed that I have to select the Templates to “bbPress – User Register”. But I don’t have that option in the template list.
Please help me how to get resolve this to get signup page.

[freshwater]

wow! you’re gonna love this one. the problem is Ghostery the AD blocker i use. with Ghostery off all my wordpress and wordpress/bbpress sites display Twitter feed properly. Ghostery on and some of my wordpress/bbpress sites display the Twitter feed, it’s not bbpress but another plug in that allows Ghostery to be on and still display the Twitter feed. (i use a mac so results could be diff on windoz).
i’d guess all those people posting complaints for 2 years (and no answers), have AD blockers running!

thanks for looking into that!

[Lynqoid]

If I test on a blank install of WordPress the twitter feed works, if I add bbPress it also works. Do you have an example of any other non bbPress site where the twitter feed is not working?

I am guessing a plugin conflict, javascript error or template problem.

Good luck!

[Lynqoid]

You can add this into the footer of your website and then give it a class along the lines of .forum-disclaimer

Then inside your stylesheet do something like:

.forum-disclaimer { display:none; }
.bbpress .forum-disclaimer { display:block; }

Good luck!

[gerardyap]

Hi Lynqoid, nice pic by the way : )

I have added into the custom.css and doesnt seem to work. Any missing code I have missed out ?

Green horn in php. Thanks

.bbpress #primary .sidebar { display:none; }
.bbpress #content-page { width: 98%; }

[Lynqoid]

Add this to your stylesheet.

.bbpress #primary .sidebar { display:none; }
.bbpress #content-page { width: 98%; }

Good luck!

[freshwater]

http://theboatpeople.org/ all i did was copy the twitter widget html (from whatever site) into my up-to-date wordpress with bbpress plug in and the twitter feed works fine. in any other non bbpress site (only wordpress), the twitter feed does not disply. i see many people complaining of this for a year but i don’t see anyone with a solution.

thank you for any help!

[mjformica]

I’m getting a series of fatal errors with a bbPress 2.5.2 install. Running WP 3.8.

I can get the site back by going to the FTP site and deleting the install there. Anything else results in a variety of fatal errors.

Thoughts?

[Alex4red]

I’m getting an error all of a sudden to my code

function is_member_online($user_id, $time=5){
    global $wp, $wpdb;

    $user_login = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "
        SELECT u.user_login FROM $wpdb->users u JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID
        WHERE     u.ID = $user_id
        AND um.meta_key = 'last_activity'
        AND DATE_ADD( um.meta_value, INTERVAL $time MINUTE ) >= UTC_TIMESTAMP()
        "
    ));
    if(isset($user_login) && $user_login !=""){
        return true;
    }
    else {return false;}
}

This checks if bbpress members are online. This is the error that is being resulted

Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /hermes/bosweb/web172/b1721/ipg.dnbrawlercom/lsheroes/wp-content/themes/SaveLSHoooo/custom-functions.php on line 15 and defined in /hermes/bosweb/web172/b1721/ipg.dnbrawlercom/lsheroes/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 992

It has been happening working until recently.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your help. I discovered that my administrative account did not have the Keymaster role assigned to it. I assigned this, and repaired, individually, each of the relationships in Tools > Forums.

This still does not work. When I log into the forum with an account that is a WP subscriber with Participant privileges for bbPress, I still get the “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” message. Ironically, this message appears right below a message that says, “This forum contains 36 topics and 72 replies…”

Really appreciate your help with this. Our goal is just to get this thing working, whatever we need to do…

best,
Martyn Chamberlin
